If the press releases are to be believed, the perpetually on-again off-again
merger of T-Mobile and Sprint is ... on again.

When I was in a T-Mobile store this past weekend, finally replacing my five
year old phone, the dude in the store insisted that it was T-Mobile taking
over Sprint. I would be interested in learning whether Sprint employees feel
the same way.

According to the press release, the combined company will be called T-Mobile.
I certainly hope T-Mobile continues to run the show, because their network
has improved so much -- a decade ago it was a bad joke; today it's the best
value in the industry. They've similarly innovated in the way they sell their
service. I'm a happy customer. Sprint, on the other hand, just seems to
screw up everything they touch.

I don't know what 5G is but my phone doesn't support it so I don't care (yet?).
All I know is that Sprint's network is still using CDMA in an era whene veryone
else went to GSM years ago.

It was a long time ago, but my experience with T-Mobile wasn't the greatest.
The network was okay, sorta, but they had a habit of passing off problems
that a customer had to Someone Else, eventually casting your issue off into
oblivion, never to get resolved.
